The Devils (34-35-4) (72 pts) come to the burgh to take on the Pens (43-23-8) (94 pts). The Devils miraculous run to try and crack the top eight in the Eastern Conference appears to have run dry. Every game is a must win for them pretty much. The Pens on the other hand are 6-2-2 in their last 10 and 4-1 in their last 5. 

Tonight marks Mike Comrie's first game back since sustaining a hip injury early in the season. Once written off his return is now significant and it will be interesting if he can bring something to the fold for now and potentially the playoffs, especially if Jeffrey is going to be out long-term. No word if Hillary Duff will be in attendence but we can confirm she and Mike ran through their pre-game ritual earlier today....

A win tonight coupled with a Hurricanes loss will clinch a playoff birth for the Pens. Also a Pens OTL and a Hurricanes loss will also clinch a berth.

Most importantly tonight is a big game for the Pens for them to pick up two more points on the idle Flyers, and to keep distance from Tampa Bay for 4th in the East.

Hopefully tonight is not a snore-fest. The first goal is huge tonight. The Pens don't want to give the Devils a chance to dictate the play and end up trapping all game.

Pens - Devils Moment of Bliss:

Had to go with two tonight

Devils suck
